Serj Tankian "emotionally checked out" during last couple System of a Down albums
Briefly

"I had a very unique relationship with the last few records because I had, to a certain degree, emotionally checked out of the band while making them."
"Because of the push and pull, I became very passive. There was music I wanted to bring in that I felt like I couldn't... I needed oxygen - I felt like there was too much going on."
"I still think those songs are great. But when I think back on it, I also remember that it was a weird phase of my life."
"I would say if System ever decided to make a record, it would be a fresh start in a brand new way, in a beautiful new direction."
